Rajbanshi Community Demands Rajbanshi VC at University
Some people from the Rajbanshi community want the person in charge of a local university named after a Rajbanshi leader to be a member of their community.
They're asking the government to pick someone from their group for this important job.
They believe this is a way to honor their community and its history.
They are upset because the new leader, chosen by the Supreme Court, isn't from their community.
If the government doesn't listen to their request, they plan to organize protests to make their voices heard.
Rajbanshi community groups demand a Rajbanshi vice-chancellor for Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University.
The demand follows a Supreme Court order appointing a new VC who is not from the Rajbanshi community.
Community representatives plan to petition the Chief Minister and state education department.
They argue a Rajbanshi VC would honor the university's namesake, a community leader.
If the demand is unmet, they threaten to launch a movement.
